It is intended that this Supplement be read in conjunction with the Workshop Manual
(T.S.D. Publication 729) for S1 and S2 cars. Where information in the Workshop
Manual differs from that contained in the Supplement, it is that in the Supplement
which applies to S3 cars.
It should be noted that the pages and titles to illustrations in this Supplement have a
suffix (S) after the Page or figure number. The (S) has been added to avoid confusion
with the page numbers in the Workshop Manual.
Page numbers and Figure numbers shown in parentheses in this Supplement, refer to
the S1 and S2 Workshop Manual (T.S.D. Publication 729).
This Supplement to the Workshop Manual has been compiled in an endeavour to
assist service personnel responsible for maintenance and overhaul, in properly maintaining
the high standard of engineering achieved in the production of Rolls-Royce and Bentley
motor cars.
Although all the information contained in this Supplement was correct when going
to print, modifications which may subsequently develop will be kept up to date by means
of Service Bulletins.
Information given in the latest Bulletin will supersede that given in the Section of this
Supplement to which it refers, until such times as the Supplement is re-issued with the
necessary amendments.
Personnel of Rolls-Royce Service Departments at Hythe Road, Willesden, London,
N.W.10, and at Pym's Lane, Crewe, are always prepared to answer queries or give advice
on individual servicing problems, but it will assist them if queries are accompanied by
the chassis number of the car.
